Challenge Day 5: Write a moment poem.
Pandemic
When
I was a little girl,
my
mother would say,
“Never
question God.”
As
a woman,
I faithfully question God.
I say:
“Let me acknowledge your miraculous works.
I
know you’re aware of the heart of struggle.
I
know your healing balm.
I
know your unchanging hands.
I
know your comfort.
I
know your blessings.
I
know your record of no harm.
I
know you know everyone’s skeletons
like
your son’s flesh.
I
know you know future too.
I
know you’re preparing countless breakthroughs again.”
I ask:
“Is
heaven running out of angels?
Are
they tired of saving us in this world?
Are
they tired of being taken for granted too?
Do
you trust that your children will
learn
to pave patience, not pandemonium?
Are
you teaching your children Sacrifice 101 again?
Are
you expecting us to redefine love?
Rebuild
humanity? Morality?
Again?
Again?
Are
you expecting us to reset our standards?
Our
values? Again?
Are
you giving us the benefit of the doubt?
Do
you want us to just sit, count
the
blessings that some miscalculated?
Do
you want us to just rest to be rest assured?
Are
you remembering those
times
that some of us “wished for”?
Are
you tenderly gifting us minutes
for
more intimate precious moments?
Are
you testing us? Our faith?
Our
hope and truths?
Again?
Again?
Are
you giving us a chance
to
find confidence in our heavenly dreams?
Are
you giving us time with
ourselves
to know thy self?
And
to know you, not of you? Again?
Are
you making us remember
what is priority?
what is priority?
Are
you making us remember
who has authority?
who has authority?
Are
you making us aware that
none
of us will be what we were,
normally?” ever again?
